I'd guess you have an Intel RAID controller; you can't use this with
FreeBSD due to bugs in the RAID controller BIOS. I've tried talking to
Intel about this, but they haven't been very responsive, and so there's
not much you can do about it, short of throwing it out and getting a
less-buggy controller (I would recommend Adaptec, AMI or Mylex).

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
